My proposal for a human level 5 unit.

80-90 Damage
Leadership 1500

(I'm a little unsure of leadership to damage ratio here)

Has two abilities, one active, one passive.

Active: Griffon Dive. Similar to dragon dive, targets a square within 5. The Griffon Rider flies high into the air and comes crashing down at the point of contact, dealing 40-45 damage to adjacent units and pushing them back one square.
Passive: Whenever Griffon Rider gets a kill with a melee attack, it gives all other human units 1 Action point (As if a level 1 Fit of Energy were cast on them).

Oh, and I guess it flies, that was obvious right?

Should like like an oversized Royal Griffon being rode by a silver Armored Knight style unit, with a massive lance.

The main benefit to fit of energy is a 2nd turn. This won't really happen due to the unit's high Initiative unless you have them wait every time they would get a kill.

This is meant to be a balancing factor. If you wait until end of turn, and then use them, you could be giving your entire team another turn, which is insanely good, but it requires you to do nothing else for a turn.

Even just getting a first action kill, and 'hasting' your army for a turn isn't too bad.
